Lucky me!
Things have been hideously hectic in our lives lately, and I find when things feel a little out of control, I get stressed. It’s something I am working on, but thought I would share a recent delivery that gave me a real ‘lift’ (although not in the surgical sense).
I adore getting parcels in the mail… mostly these days, it’s just window envelopes that make their way to the Granite Glen red cream can. But something very special and exciting arrived the other day…
A gorgeously wrapped parcel from America. (It was MORE gorgeously wrapped but I had a little ‘helper’ in the unwrapping department!)
Can I just say that this card is wonderful? Almost as wonderful as the WRITING on the envelope. I am most jealous of this handwriting – I may need to steal this for my byline, I love it so much!
And the person who sent me this exciting envelope (is it sad that I’m so thrilled before I even see what’s in the box?)…
The ultra-talented silversmith (and sometime BB visitor) Donna Gunn… Donna held a little contest a couple of weeks ago which I entered…
I’m not usually a lucky person – not in the ‘win lotto’ kind of sense anyway. But I got lucky here, and am now the very proud owner of these super-cute blue earrings.
Thanks so much Donna. (Check out Donna’s Etsy shop here).

Wow BB do I feel special!
Lately my surprizes are Wild Thing saying (in a sweet little teenage voice while she bats her eyelids at me) “Isn’t it cute mommy. It’s just a baby. We have to keep it.” as she hold out some helpless baby critter.
